As this session comes to an end, I’m grateful for the progress we’ve made and the opportunity to serve the state of Utah. It’s been a fast-paced and productive few weeks, with important discussions, key legislation passed, and real impact for our communities.
I appreciate the collaboration and dedication of my colleagues and interns, as well as the Utahns who have engaged in the process. It’s been an honor to be part of this work, and I look forward to continuing to serve.

Dylan Hennefer has been one of my interns during this legislative session and I am grateful for all the time and effort he has put into helping me at the Legislature. He is a native of Lehi, Utah and currently a student at Utah Military Academy - Camp Williams, where he is actively involved in a variety of programs, including JROTC, Sea Cadets, Competitive Colorguard, Raiders, and several sports teams. Additionally, he is in the process of enlisting in the United States Army Reserve.
Dylan's political journey began in 2023 when he had the opportunity to attend events hosted by the Sutherland Institute. There, he had the privilege of listening to Representatives and Senators share their political beliefs and personal journeys. During his time as an intern, he has gained valuable insights into the political and legislative process, as well as a deeper understanding of how government offices function.
In the future, he aspires to further expand his political knowledge and pursue admission to a military service academy to contribute to the betterment of our country. I have no doubt that with his work ethic and dedication, he will go on to do great things. Thank you, Dylan, for all your dedication this session!

Thank You Sir. What wonderful words to read from you. I am extremely proud to carry the “Label” of DAD for this young man. I am so very proud of him and his accomplishments. He speaks so highly of his time and experience while working under your tutelage. Dylan and mentioned several time what an Honor it is to work with you. Thank You. I know Dylan will take what he has experienced and learned and share it with those around him, and those that he will come i contact with in his future ventures.
Today, the Legislature and Governor Cox stood with firefighters to mark the passage of H.B. 65, a major step in ensuring their health and safety.
Firefighters face serious risks, and cancer is the leading cause of line-of-duty deaths. This bill expands access to cancer screenings, early detection, and medical benefits, while also strengthening training programs to enhance firefighter safety.
Proud to have co-sponsored this important legislation and stand with those who risk their lives for our communities.

With just a few days left in the session, things are moving quickly! HB 293 – Vehicle Sales Tax Amendments and HB 502 – Transportation and Infrastructure Funding Amendments both passed the Senate Revenue and Taxation Committee today and are now headed to the Senate floor for consideration.
The work continues late into the evening at the Capitol as we make every effort to advance these bills and make the most of the remaining days of the session!

I couldn’t have asked for a better intern this session than Ben Webb! Ben, a BYU student studying economics and a proud West Jordan native, has been absolutely invaluable to my work at the Legislature. From early mornings to late evenings, he has been there every step of the way, ensuring that everything runs smoothly and that I’m always where I need to be.
His work ethic, professionalism, and ability to juggle a nonstop schedule have made a huge impact—not just for me, but for everyone who has had the privilege of working with him. Simply put, I couldn’t have done it without him!
Ben has a bright future ahead, and I have no doubt that he’ll go on to accomplish incredible things. Thank you, Ben, for your dedication and hard work!

This morning, I had the privilege of attending the announcement of another investment in Utah’s teachers and school employees. The Legislature remains committed to supporting educators, providing a $1,446 direct salary increase for teachers and a $1,000 bonus for education support staff, along with a 4% funding increase for school districts to further support all employees.
I’m thrilled for our teachers and the ongoing efforts to strengthen education in our state. Utah is home to the very best educators, and on behalf of the Utah House, thank you for your dedication, commitment, and the vital role you play in shaping our future.

With all due respect Jordan, if the legislator remained committed to supporting educators they would not have just taken away collective bargaining rights for the UEA.
With all due respect, you can't spend the last 2 years either attacking or ignoring public school teachers to now pretend you are on our side. The state legislature has already made it very clear where their priorities lie, and it's not with public education.
It’s really unfortunate every year you bring legislation forward against teachers.
